left here on Friday to take ia strashurg
had quite q nice, pleasant time until they
reached Woodstock. There they received
a terrible fright. and came very near turn
ing back Ia hot haste. As they reached
the Ian overlooking town they noticed
that Main street was filed with people and
everything seemed in confusion. Driving
on into town the rattle of drums and the
stirring sounds oi brass band "smote"
upon their hearing with startling effect.
Soon they saw the glittering uniforms and
bayonets Of the Anderson Guards, who
were on parade, and feeling sure that the
Yankees were coming they wanted 10 turn

brought out bis bicycle and gayly wheeled
it down TO Murray's corner, there to await
